Ep 32: Behar - The Simple Life

Pop Culture Parasha

Shoshana and special guest host Claire Abramovitz blow our entire royalties budget for the season immediately upon the opening of this episode. After discussing Jerry Seinfeld, Zac Efron, Kendall Jenner, and Shoshana’s pranks on our teachers, the compare 2003's The Simple Life starring Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie to Parashat Behar. If you're still surprised by our ability to connect pop culture to the parasha, you shouldn't be, because there's actually a lot to discuss when it comes to Shmita, the Yovel, reality [tv], economy, and respect of the land in comparison to Paris and Nicole's antics on a small-town farm.
